You must know your competition before investing in scooter flipping. In my area, a new Chinese 50cc scoot can be had for $700 +tt&l and a new 150cc for $1000 +tt&l. It is tough to compete with that.
I have known of some people doing well flipping quads.

Good point. If anyone around here wants to buy a new scoot from a B&M they have at least an hour and 20 minute drive in any direction.

Locally, competition shouldn't be a problem.

I made REAL good money flipping older motorcycles when in N.H. Here I don't have the connections for parts or the reputation that I had there & I'm to old to establish a reputation here! Irish
P.S. I used to combine the good "old" parts & build a completely newer bike! Also you would not believe what people will pay for used "good" electrical parts!
